Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Elmo Lupe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Bernhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lupe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Going The Distance. Bernhard has chosen Alice in Chains-"Man in the Box" as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
